The new series of Blue Lights is the best piece of social commentary on the telly at the moment. Obvious that the powers that be haven't got to BBC Northern Ireland yet.

I think she's advocating a British equivalent to the 'German Blood Certificate' issued under you know who you know when.

I wonder if this picture was the inspiration for this scene in the move A Bridge Too Far.

Magdeburg, capital of Sachsen-Anhalt, the last time they had a far right government. Some people never learn.

I was innocnetly eating oysters and drinking champagne when I accidently found myself coming up with a scheme to accept illegal foreign donations to fund our neo-fascist party.

50hp Evinrude outboard motors were one of the things that won WW2. They crossed the Seine, pulled the men out of Oosterbeek and crossed the Rhine at Wesel.

Just read through why Carney pulled the plug on the negotiations. It's actually nothing to do with economics. If you add them all up it's actually sovereignty. You can't have Trump dictate Canadian policy.

Saw a thing on the BBC on these things. They are huge & closely resemble German V1s from WW2.

I would luv it, LUV IT, if Count Binface is the only challenger to Farridge and then wins!

Just some Youtube gems if anyone's interested. 1. Roger Barnes. Eccentric dinghy sailing. 2. Rick Beato. Deep dives into classic prog/rock songs. 3. The Mindful Narrowboat. FAB weekly canal blog. 4. WW2 Headquarters. Al Murray & James Holland war waffle.

Just listening to Arlene Foster (DUP) saying that these are not far right activists doing this but normal people who are 'concerned' about immigration. Because we all know that the DUP are not hard right, right?

Yuki, apparently in New York dogs can only go on the subway if they are in bags...

Canal Boat Diaries is back on UTV. 10 more episodes of go slow & relax with our good friend Robbie Cummings. FAB.

This article is live on the BBC website. It does not mention the Liberal Democrats ONCE. It's so blatant. Formal complaint inbound.

That's one way to practice your scales. Have you seen the dog version Yuki?

No guitar is ever better than your 30 year old acoustic that you learnt on, practiced on and play every day.

Other types.. Douglas Skyraider. Served through Korea & Vietnam.

Thought of the day. The British WW1 phonetic alphabet was much more entertaining than the present one. Glorious Britishisms throughout: Freddie, Monkey, Nuts, Orange, Pip, Yorker.

Ironic that an artist who's whole career was based around the alienation caused by American capitalism is so popular with American capitalists. Anyway he had the answer about energy.

New British bank notes compromise solution. Put the characters from the Wind in the Willows on the bank notes nobody uses. Churchill & Mr Toad are very similar. Add Ratty, Mole & Mr Badger to make the set.

Hegseth & My Lai Lt Calley have something in common - no rules of engagement.

This is FDR ASKING Congress for the authority to declare war on Japan AFTER Japan had attacked Pearl Harbour in Dec 1941. Trump hasn't asked Congress for his actions in Iran. His actions are thus illegal.

'He's done what? He's given UK secrets in return for cash to the pedo Epstein while only wearing his underpants. Right, that does it!'

I love the way Jan One Tooth gives you both an urgent frisk to see if you have a restaurant goodie bag.

Angst about the end of Rome and our present West aside, I thought the Roman glass cup was the most extraordinary object. More beautiful than any treasure. Imagine finding something like that.

I hope MI5 are watching the airports in case any more of these RefUKers try and run home to Moscow.

I think all this is going to bite the UK on the bum. The latest migration figures show that net immigration has declined by two thirds since the Brexit high and that the combined birth rate + net immigration is now well below the replacement rate.

Excited about this new Ken Burns documentary. I can't help but think, all things considered, you guys would have been better off sticking with George III. Afterall he was at least a constitutional monarch and a devolution settlement should have been possible.

Apparently nobody knows Nathan Gill. Yeah right.
